ABSTRACT:
Systems and techniques for coherent combining radars include generating a phase and range calibration and initialization values for adjusting a time delay and a phase of a transmitted pulse from one of the radars, resulting in received composite target echoes at each of the radars having contributions from monostatic and bistatic echoes. The method further includes predicting phase and range correction values for further adjusting the time delay and the phase of subsequent radar pulses transmitted by one of the radars to continue to result in received composite target echoes at each of the radars. The method further includes coherently summing the composite target echoes.
